On Thursday, police officers throughout the country are mourning the death of Mats Löfving, regional police chief in Stockholm and former deputy national police chief.

- It is tragic and horrible, of course, especially for his relatives and closest circle.

You know them first and foremost.

But also for us police officers in Stockholm who worked under and with him.

It will be a foreboding, says Viktor Adolphson, area police and external commander at Södermalm.

Viktor Adolphson shares the work of the Södermalm Police through his twitter account "YB Södermalm" with over 200,000 followers.

Mats Löfving was his top boss.
